Yes, three." He paused in his enumeration as if struck by a belated thought. "It is three children, Joseph?" he proceeded, turning to his friend. Joseph confirmed his memory. "Yes, Simon, three; the girl, the boy and the baby." The stranger was clearly perplexed and disturbed. "Go on," he said curtly. "There is Paulina and the three children, and Rosenblatt, and " "Rosenblatt!"
"Yes, that is all right," muttered Samuel, "a stick for my wife, and if she were my wife I would soon bring her to time." "Ho, ho," said Rosenblatt, "it is all the same, sweetheart and wife. They are both much the better for a stick now and then. You are not the kind of man to stand beggar before a portionless Slovak girl, a young man handsome, clever, well-to-do.
Indeed, Samuel Sprink, young though he was and unlearned in the ways of the world, was the only man in the city that Rosenblatt feared. If by any means Samuel could obtain a hold over this young lady, he would soon bring her to the dust. Once in Samuel's power, she would soon sink to the level of the ordinary Galician wife.
Before he was aware, his open hand had swung hard upon the grinning face, and Rosenblatt fell in a huddled heap into the corner. He rose up sputtering and spitting. "I will have the law on you!" he shouted. "I call you as witness," he continued to the agent. "What's the matter with you?" said the agent. "I didn't see anything.
"And would you let the poor man go to his death?" cried O'Hara, proceeding to draw a lurid picture of the deadly machinations of the lawyer for the Crown, Rosenblatt and their associates against this unfortunate patriot who, for love of his country and for the honour of his name, had sought to wreak a well-merited vengeance upon the abject traitor. Under his vehement eloquence Mrs.
"Bring him some water, some one," said Brown, who was now giving his attention to Kalman. But no one heeded him. Old Portnoff found a can, and filling it at the stream, brought it to the group on the slope. In a short time they began to revive, and before long were able to stand. Meantime, the wretched Rosenblatt was piteously crying for water.
"What say you, my brothers," said the stranger, "shall we attend this feast?" The men were eager to go. Why should Rosenblatt stand in their way? Were they not good friends of Jacob and Anka? Was not every home in the colony open to a stranger, and especially a stranger of rank? Simon swallowed his pride and led the way to Paulina's house.
From the stupid Paulina he skilfully drew evidence substantiating this fact, and though this evidence was ruled out on the ground that she was the prisoner's wife, the effect upon the jury was not lost. The most damaging testimony was, of course, that offered by Rosenblatt himself, and this evidence Staunton was clever enough to use with dramatic effect.
The Montague girl had been insistent on that point; there were enough things she couldn't avoid doing, and all stars very sensibly had doubles for such scenes when distance or action permitted. At the same time, he could never again feel the same toward her. Indeed, he would never have felt the same even had there been no Rosenblatt. Art was art!
The Sergeant kept his keen eye fastened on the man while he talked. "Well, he looks like a smart one. Come here," he said, beckoning the stranger forward into the better light. The man came and stood with his back to Rosenblatt. "Hold up your hands." The man stared blankly. Jacob interpreted. He hesitated a moment, then held up his hands above his head. The Sergeant turned him about.
